A cookbook and culinary memoir about growing up as the daughter of
revered chef/restaurateur Alice Waters: a story of food, family, and the
need for beauty in all aspects of life.
In this extraordinarily intimate portrait of her mother--and
herself--Fanny Singer, daughter of food icon and activist Alice Waters,
chronicles a unique world of food, wine, and travel; a world filled with
colorful characters, mouth-watering traditions, and sumptuous feasts.
Across dozens of vignettes with accompanying recipes, she shares the
story of her own culinary coming of age and reveals a side of her
legendary mother that has never been seen before. A charming, smart
translation of Alice Waters's ideals and attitudes about food for a new
generation, Always Home is a loving, often funny, unsentimental, and
exquisitely written look at a life defined in so many ways by food, as
well as the bond between mother and daughter.
